Autistic people are like, “yeah I love following rules” and then proceed to rip apart the gender binary

I love following good rules. bad rules keep me from following better ones so I put them through a meat grinder and see what happens

The official rules suck, I have written my own.

the rules have to be consistent or they’re not the real rules

there are very few things less consistent than the gender binary

That’s not a contradiction at all. “I love following rules” means “I love having clear instructions instead of them being implied”. It doesn’t mean “I love obeying authority” or “I love conforming”.

And it also means “I love rules that are clear and people actually all follow, instead of rules they just lie about following in order to punish -you- for not doing the same correctly with no knowledge of why there even IS lying about it”

I love having followable rules. I hate having unwritten rules that everyone is expected to follow. I absolutely abhor rules which have a commonly expected interpretation which you are expected to simply know, and when you bring up what the rules actually say people act like you are being deliberately contrarian rather than considering what you said.

The Kiss of Life - A utility worker giving mouth-to-mouth to co-worker after he contacted a low voltage wire, 1967

brite-eyed

Taken in 1967 by Rocco Morabito, this photo called “The Kiss of Life” shows a utility worker named J.D. Thompson giving mouth-to-mouth to co-worker Randall G. Champion after he went unconscious following contact with a low voltage line. Thompson over 400 feet away recognized the critical situation and ran to the pole and scaled it to reach Champion. Realizing champion wasn’t breathing he delivered CPR and chest compression while supporting his friend; super impressive /difficult given the angle (if you get it wrong air goes into the stomach and inflates that instead).

This all happened oddly in Champions work anniversary. And weirder Rocco Morabito, a newspaper photographer who had been covering a strike down the road with eastern freight (this happened in Florida btw) happened to be nearby with his camera in a time that no one carried cameras daily. This photo won him the Pulitzer Prize for journalism photography.
